Welcome to The ORG of the Phoenix Lily Potter! The Ministry has weighed your wand and can now gladly return it, hoping that with it in hand you may do many great things here! As you fight for the fate of the Wizarding World, you may use this Diary Journal board to record your experiences, thoughts, ideas, notes, strategies, reactions or any number of other things as you see fit. It is a private place which nobody other than yourself and the Ministers can see (until the game is over), and any posts made here will not count toward the total post count on your profile. You should also use this area to play all of your Challenges, and to privately ask any questions you have for the Ministers. Speaking of which - we'll also be popping in at least once every episode to ask you questions and to pick your brain. Here are some to start you off: 1. First Impressions! What do you think of your partner so far? How is Day 0 going? 2. How do you think beginning this Game with a partner will impact the way it plays out? How important is the chance to earn a mutual ID reveal? 3. What do you expect will happen on Sunday night? What else do you think might lie ahead in The ORG of the Phoenix? 4. Do you have any goals for yourself in this game? Any hopes for how your journey here may play out?

I can't speculate on players but am I allowed to guess the hosts? Peter Pettigrew

I can't speculate on players but am I allowed to guess the hosts? Peter PettigrewI'd probably prefer that you didn't post about it? The other hosts are going closed-ID in this just like the players so that anyone who potentially listed some of them as possible partners won't know who exactly is in the mix. And I wouldn't want any of them to potentially treat you differently or give anything away due to having read your speculation about them.

You may not speculate. But more importantly you must not tell lies, Lily.

Sneaking some diary entries in gaps at work. Bartholemew seems friendly and easy going. However, it definitely feels like he's playing as if we're in a regular closed ID game and it's Day 0 and he's just trying to lay down some bonds without overcommitting to anything. Which is fine and completely understandable... but the main reason I came out of a two year retirement to play an ORG after swearing off them was because the Blood Vs Water concept was something novel and I've always found to be interesting I love the fact that you may be doing something that is inherently not good for your game because you think it may benefit the game of your loved one. *cough* Sam & Mark I also think it's so unique to have someone you can inherently trust in a game where you can never trust anyone 100% However, it'll be interesting to see how that works in a Closed ID Blood vs Water season where you don't know who the other person is and you don't actually know whether they'd be a player that you'd actually trust. And until the mutual ID reveal, short of illicit ID speculation, no one will know that. I guess I just trusted that the Ministry would pair me up with someone who I would have that bond with, and I went into this game wanting to treat them as if I would treat a loved one. And that's very different to how I normally play. My mantra is to always have as many options as possible and never commit to anyone so that everyone assumes you're with them (which has burnt me down the line in other ways) The only time I've had someone who I didn't lie to and refused to vote out was Damien in Botswana and he went pre-merge and since then I've always felt that I've had to tread the very fine line of selectively providing truths/half-truths. This time, in the spirit of the Blood vs Water theme, I told Barty I would be 100% honest with him and share everything with him and he didn't even acknowledge it! Nope! It was as if he saw a U-turn sign. Probably thinks I'm overplaying and doing a Swati and telling that to everyone. Oh well, what can you do? I assume on Sunday we'll get split up into different tribes, likely an Order Side and a Deatheaters Side. If that happens I'll be pretty thankful because part of the reason I wanted an Order avatar is I'm not enough of a Harry Potter fan that I would know anything about the Deatheaters to stay in character for long. Of course, I'm on night shifts from tonight so will be mostly away during peak hour board time and will only be able to check in at various points of the day in between sleeping. So there's a pretty good chance I'll be an early boot and won't have to worry about staying in character for long. I also intend to fully suck at challenges and in the absence of my (apparently over intense) PM game, there probably won't be much of a reason to keep me around. But hey, I appreciate how much effort Peter Pettigrew puts into planning this and creating a rich world, so my goal is to just enjoy the theming and the mechanics for as long as I can

Thanks for sharing It's certainly going to be an interesting experiment. The kinds of dynamics you've outlined are the reason why I was eager to host a BvW game and planning it even before I knew Australian Survivor would be trying it out too. Everyone potentially coming into it with different expectations is just one more layer to it all. Have you considered being forthright with Barty about your intended approach to the twist? Or are you concerned that could derail your relationship somehow?

But my partner is pretty perceptive. He pointed out that one player from each pair will add themselves to "Joint Account" and that Side will likely be renamed to the new Side. I don't see any other way we'll be divided unless it is Order/DE which I think would be too basic.
It does make me a tad worried though, because 1) 5/7 are Order members so there's a decent chance I'll be on a Side stacked with Death Eaters, 2) I assume the better challenge people are the ones who added themselves to that group so my Side will likely be going to tribal quite often...

It is not a Hidden Immunity Item.
More than that, you’ll have to puzzle out for yourself.
